February 1, 20197 yr Hello community, is anybody aware if there's a cfg setting to adjust the size of the P3Dv4 snowflakes? For my taste they are much too big and I want to have them a lot smaller.

February 1, 20197 yr Commercial Member Hi Günter, to my best knowledge, rain and snow are controlled by texture files in "\Prepar3D v4\Texture\" named "rain*" and "snow*". There are some addons that replace those, making snow and rain look different, like PreciptFx (?) Best regards LORBY-SI
February 1, 20197 yr I use precipitfx and have been happy with the results.

February 1, 20197 yr Author Thanks for answering. I have indeed Precipit, but have had enabled the ones from ENVTEX. Changed that and found the Precipit ones better, yes.

February 1, 20197 yr Nothing that I’ve noticed.

February 1, 20197 yr This tweak works wonders and is exactly what you are looking for! I use the settings provided in the post and the snowflakes/rain appear much more realistic. https://www.theskylounge.tv/topic/5431-make-p3dv4s-rain-great-again/
February 2, 20197 yr Author thanks for the hint. In my PrecipParticle.fx is the line: //Control how long streaks face and how big they are. float height = cb_fQuadSize * cb_fQuadSizeHeightScale / (2.4 - (cb_uPrecipType * 1.65)); float width = cb_fQuadSize * cb_fQuadSizeWidthScale / (1.0 - (cb_uPrecipType * 0.25)); I don't know if it changed meanwhile by LM or a tools (EnvShade, EnvTex or Precipit)? Changed it now to //Control how long streaks face and how big they are. float height = cb_fQuadSize * cb_fQuadSizeHeightScale / (4.4 - (cb_uPrecipType * 1.65)); float width = cb_fQuadSize * cb_fQuadSizeWidthScale / (3.0 - (cb_uPrecipType * 0.25)); and is also better. That was exactly what I've searched for! thanks!

February 2, 20197 yr Just Checking, Will these adjustments change height/width of both Rain and Snow effects? I’ll experiment when I get home but this sounds like a great tweak. thx IM
February 2, 20197 yr Commercial Member Hi, so it is a shader mod? That is good to know, thanks!! Best regards LORBY-SI
